Fund Raising
Our conservation/education fund raising plans for the 2012-2013 year call for the chapter to raise funds through direct donations. As these projects are within our Non Profit Mission your donations will be tax deductible.
The Chapter goals and projects are:
- Bring in speakers on state wide conservation issues at our monthly meetings
- Furnish a school with the Trout in Class Room equipment
- Furnish a sign/kiosk at the Toms River, River Wood Park, Trout Conservation Area, explaining the TCA mission and regulation and other information
As a Trout Unlimited/Jersey Shore Chapter supporter your help is needed. Just $20 will help meet these goals and fund the projects. Contribution can be mailed to: Jersey Shore TU Attn: Treasure, PO Box 781, Oakhurst NJ 07755
As this is a text only e-mail the PayPal donate button will not appear! But you may use a credit card with our Pay Pal Account by the following link. Just copy the link below and paste in your browser.

The Toms River Kiosk Project.
Goal: Install a KIOSK in River Wood Park on the Toms River to provide information on the special regulations of the Trout Conservation Area and about the trout stocking and fishing in the open fishing section.
Status: A kiosk that was built by North Jersey Chapter for the proposed but delayed Flat Brook Trout Conservation Area can be acquired for installation on the Toms River. Discussions are now in progress with the Tom River Township to have an information Kiosk installed in River Wood Park. The River Wood Park is managed by the Toms River Township who also has the maintenance responsibilities.
As this project will help inform about trout fishing in Ocean County and bring the chapter some good PR with the public that now enjoy walking the trails, you can help (see how to donate above) in raising the funds and also in the planning and installation phase.
Clean streams hold healthy Trout and a Fisherman or two

Proposed Flat Brook Year Around Trout Conservation Area
Update October 2011: Approval for the TCA has been slow coming as not all are happy with the addittional regulation that the TCA would bring to the Flat Brook. It now looks like nothing will be happing before 2013.
Duane Lloyd // JSTU
The Fred S. Borroughs North Jersey Trout Unlimited (FSBNJTU) Chapter is embarking on a project to establish a Year Around Trout Conservation Area on the Big Flat Brook. The proposed Year Around Trout Conservation Area, will be from the end of the Blewett Track to Roy Bridge, about 1.5 miles. My understanding this will not be a Fly Fishing Only restriction so Spin fishers may also enjoy the fishing here.
For those who are not sure just where the Big Flat Brook is, it is in Sussex County in the Roy Wildlife Management Area and the fly fishing only part is commonly known as the Blewett Track. The Blewett track begins at the Three Bridge road and ends upstream of the junction of the Big and Little Flat Brook. According to Allen G Eastby in my copy of "New Jersey's Fishing Streams and the Delaware River" the Flat Brook is actually three very distinct trout stream.
The Fly Fishing Only stretch starts at the route 206 bridge and extends down stream to the Mountain road bridge. Another stretch known as the Blewett begins at the Three Bridges road for about one half mile to the junction of the Big and Little Flat Brook. The remainder of the stream is open to the use of spin and bait fishing. Good fishing continues all the way to the Delaware River. The Big Flat Brook bears close resemblance to trout streams in nearby Pennsylvania, clear cold and unspoiled.
The FSBNJ TU will be conducting a stream survey, with the design firm Urbani Fisheries to define what needs to be done. The design firm Urbani Fisheries will use a set of techniques called "bed manipulation". This involves reorganizing the native elements in the stream to favor trout and their food based organisms. The object is to develop deep pools, riffle and run habitats and establish thriving native riparian vegetation communities along stable stream bank and flood plain areas.
The FSBNJ TU will be planting trees near the three Bridges access area in Sept or October. Help is always welcome and this would be a chance to get your good guy points and see the river, up close. Watch for scheduling details and bring: shovel, gloves, work boots, 5 gal; spackle bucket. For more information, call FSBNJ TU Member Glenn Zeeck, 908 753 7065.

An interesting article appeared in the Asbury Park Press looking at the issue of requiring a salt water fishing license in NJ. It's written by Ed Cuneo, president of the New Jersey State Federation of Sportmen's Clubs. This is a fairly controversial topic with strong opinions on both sides. It's not quite as black-and-white as it seems at first, and it's worth getting informed on the more subtle issues involved, some of which are raised in the article. |

Many of you have been following the Pebble Mine issue in Alaska's Bristol Bay and the threat that the proposed mine poses to the largest salmon spawning area in the world. We thought that you might appreciate an update of what's going on with the project. The Pebble Limited Partnership (Northern Dynasty and Anglo-American) continued another season of field work in 2009, wrapping up work last month.
